Description

The harbour as well as the buoys are usually full by early afternoon in the season . Boats can then anchor at some distance from the harbour at 10-20 metres above seaweed. As it is very deep here, a lot of chain is needed so that the anchor can actually hold. When there is a strong wind, extra attention needs to be paid to how other yachts are swaying at anchor.
